    War is a terrible thing, and I fully understand the soldiers were just trying to reach a goal under less than ideal conditions. But funny captions are funny, and it is so easy with some of these old photos.

    Do most of you find attempts at humorous captions acceptable, or sacrilegious in some way?

    I’d say it’s a fluid situation that depends on the particular photo, person, etc.

    Did you know there’s an international Society for the study of humor (I didn’t): https://www.hnu.edu/ishs/

    Robert Heinlein wrote about why people laugh in his book Stranger in a Strange Land.
    “I’ve found out why people laugh. They laugh because it hurts so much . . . because it’s the only thing that’ll make it stop hurting.”

    They used these jeeps in Burma until recently. Long after the WWII ended. They got another 60-70 years of service. Some to this day!
